Carl Icahn repeated today that he has an executive in mind who he plans to name to run the struggling computer company Dell if and when he gets the chance.
Speaking on CNBC a little while ago — and for once in person and not on the phone — Icahn said he "definitely does" have a list of executives he would call if he gets control of the company in the event that a shareholder vote goes against the $24.4 billion leveraged buyout proposal being brought by CEO Michael Dell and private equity firm Silver Lake. "We're going to do whatever it takes to get someone," he said.
Icahn otherwise broke no new ground during the interview and essentially reiterated comments he made before. Last week in another TV interview he revealed that he was about to boost his bid for an alternative recapitalization plan. The next day he added warrants that would allow shareholders the right to buy additional shares in Dell within seven years.
Dell shares fell more than one percent during the regular session to $12.88, or 77 cents below the $13.65 buyout price that Dell and Silver Lake have proposed, as reports emerged that various large institutional shareholders — Vanguard and State Street among them — plan to vote against the buyout. The shares rose slightly after hours after Icahn's comments were aired.
Icahn talked about a lot of other subjects, too. Among other things, he took credit for pressuring Motorola to spin off its mobile phone business. You'll recall it's now the mobile hardware division of Google (although he has trouble pronouncing Sanjay Jha's name). But the seven-minute section below contains the most interesting bits about tomorrow's Dell vote.

Teletubbies is a BBC BAFTA award-winning children's television programme, mostly made for toddlers, and produced from 31 March 1997, to 5 January 2001 by Ragdoll Productions, with a total of 365 episodes. The show is about the adventures of Teletubbies Tinky Winky, who is purple, Dipsy, who is green, Laa-Laa, who is yellow, and Po, who is red.
It was created by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport, who wrote each of the show's 365 episodes. Narrated by Tim Whitnall, the show quickly became a success both with critics and with the public in Britain and other countries, and won its BAFTA in 1998.
The show remained in production for three more years, and released a single, "Teletubbies say 'Eh-oh!'", based on the show's theme song, which reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart in December 1997 and remained in the Top 75 for 32 weeks, selling over a million copies.
The story
In the show, four colorful, mythlogical, magical, free-spirited, toddler-aged, tail-less doll-like creatures, known as the Teletubbies, play in the mythological and magical world of Teletubbyland. They do things that little children like to do, such as rolling on the ground, laughing, running about, and watching real children on the televisions on their bellies. A mysterious pinwheel, known as the Magic Windmill, stands at the back of the grassy, technological Tubbytronic Superdome, and microphonic periscope-like telephones, known as Voice Trumpets, rise out on the meadow or inside the Superdome. The Baby Sun, a mythological infant sun, makes baby noises during the show, and it rises and sets to begin and end the show. The land is covered with unusually talkative flowers and an anthropomorphic elephant-like vacuum-cleaner, known as Noo-Noo. The only natural animals are rabbits (although birds are often heard). The weather is always sunny and enjoyable except for some cloudy days, with rain and puddles, and snow at Christmas time. The Teletubbies are played by actors dressed in stuffy costumes, although the recording site is designed to give no sense of scale (weight). This is where the name "Teletubbies" comes from: tele is the British word for television, and tubby is the British word for stomach. These screens are used to switch into short movie sequences, which are generally repeated at least once. When the series is shown in different countries around the world, the movie clips are changed to fit the countries' main audiences. (The British versions are the originals.)
The Teletubbies' body shapes, actions, and ways of talking are similar to toddlers. The speed and design of the show was made by writer/co-producer Andrew Davenport, who shaped the show to fit the attention spans of the target audience. The repeating of just about every word is familiar to everyone who has ever worked with young children. There was also help from Shatarra Willis the stage manager who helped the show to become a success. The Teletubbies speak in a toddler-like language which is the subject of some controversy among educationalists, some of whom argue that this supposedly made-up talk is not good for children.[1] (A similar complaint was made forty years previously about another children's series, Flower Pot Men.)
The Teletubbies are at the stage of understanding speech but not yet fully capable of repeating it, exactly like their target audience. They often simply groan in anger in times where a human toddler would throw a tantrum. The Teletubbies' catch-phrases are "Eh-oh" (hello), as in: "Eh-oh, Laa-Laa", to which Laa-Laa will respond, "Eh-oh, (other Teletubby's name)", "Uh-oh", a common response to anything that's not good, "Run away! Run away!", especially from Dipsy, and "Bye-bye" at least four times in a row. Laa-Laa, when flustered, will explode with "Bibberly cheese!", which is as angry as the Teletubbies get. But perhaps the most common exclamation is "Big hug!" which one or more of the Teletubbies will call for during the course of an episode, resulting in a big group hug. Their diet is mainly of "Tubby Tustard" (which is sucked through a circular straw) and "Tubby Toast". They are very messy eaters. In one episode, "The Tubby Toaster", the machine that makes Tubby Toast went seriously wrong and filled the Teletubbies' house with toast. Fortunately, one of their companions is Noo-Noo, a vacuum cleaner. Machines like Noo-Noo,the voice trumpets, and the televisions in the Teletubbies' stomachs were designed to show small children, who are born into a world surrounded by strange and powerful electronic gadgets, that technology is benevolent and helpful, not something to be afraid of.[2]
The Teletubbies' landscape is an outdoor set in rural Warwickshire, England, at Sweet Knowle Farm, Redhill Bank Rd, Whimpstone, CV37 8NR (between Stratford upon Avon and Shipston on Stour, close to the River Stour[3]). All the Teletubbies say "Bye-Bye" three times. The narrator bids each Teletubby goodbye, and they disappear, but reappear a moment later saying "Boo!". The narrator then says "No", (which they copy) and proceeds to say goodbye to each Teletubby again. The sun is then shown setting, and the Teletubbies each say goodbye again, before jumping down a hole in the roof of their house. Finally, one Teletubby says goodbye a fourth time - they pop out of a hole in the house and say "Bye-bye!". For special episodes, and at the end of the "Fun With The Teletubbies" cassette, all four Teletubbies say "Bye-bye" in this way. Many of the occurrences of the show, including the end sequence, and the scene preceding the short film broadcast on a character's tummy were shot only once, and the same scenes are used in each episode. A main feature of each episode is a sun that has a picture of a smiling baby on it. The baby in the sun occasionally laughs out loud in short bursts. In 2001, production of the show was cancelled and it was announced that no new episodes would be produced. (However, BBC ran a few in-the-can episodes from mid 2001 to early 2002.) However, the existing 365 episodes have been played in re-runs for seven years until January 2008.
Tinky Winky
Tinky Winky, (played by Dave Thompson, Mark Heenehan, and Simon Shelton), is the first Teletubby. He is the largest of the Teletubbies, is violet, and has a triangular antenna on his head. He is notable for a magic red hand luggage bag (described by the show as the Bag, but often described by other media as the Handbag) he always carries. He is also found dancing in a ballet-style skirt from time to time, which is also often worn by Laa-Laa.
Dipsy (played by John Simmit) is the second Teletubby. He is green and is called "Dipsy" because his horn looks like a dipstick. He likes his black and white furry top hat, which he once lost. Po finds it while riding her "scooteh", but instead of simply returning Dipsy's hat to the stricken Dipsy, Tinky-WInky runs around it for about ten minutes shouting "Dipsy Hat! Dipsy Hat!". Dipsy is the most stubbon of the Teletubbies, and will sometimes refuse to go along with the other Teletubbies' group opinion. His face and ears are notably darker (like the Rabbits). Dipsy is rumoured to have a romantic relationship with Po, although he may or may not be cheating with Laa-Laa.
Laa-Laa is the third Teletubby. She is yellow, has a loopy antenna, and is concerned with the welfare of all. She is the best singer of all the Teletubbies, and is a "Drama queen", party-girl, and motherly type. Her favorite thing is a bouncy, orange ball, which is almost as big as she is. She likes to sing and dance, and when flustered, may explode with "Bibberly cheese!"
Po is the red Teletubby. She is the fourth (and last) of the Teletubbbies, has an aerial that is the shape of a circle, is the smallest of the Teletubbies and is most often the one who always gets into trouble. She also says the word "Eh-oh" (hello), a word used by herself and the other three Teletubbies.
Po's favorite object is her scooter, which she calls "scooteh" (she also calls it 'cooter or 'cooteh). Po often wants attention and can sometimes be mischievous and naughty when she disobeys the commands of the "Voice Trumpets".
Po is bilingual, meaning she can speak more than one language. Those languages are English (the broadcasting country's language) and, especially for counting, Cantonese. (For example, "Yat, yi, sam," which means "One, two, three.") She is a problem solver and the best "spider-fighter". She is also a Tomboy type, and of all the Teletubbies, Po usually becomes most involved with the audience. She loves both attention and her red circular aerial on her head.
In the Teletubbies' house, she sleeps at the side of all the other Teletubbies and sometimes eats Tubby Toast while the others are sleeping. She is voiced by Pui Fan Lee, which is why she can speak in dual languages. (Supporters of the interpretation of Tinky Winky as pride symbol might take this as evidence.) The toy was recalled and it was revealed to have said "fidit, fidit," inspired by the Cantonese for "faster, faster."[4]
Although many are unsure of Po's gender, or think she is male (probably because of her scarlet (red) color and tomboyish antics), she is clearly said to be female in several episodes, such as "Dad's Portrait" (Episode 216, first broadcast 1998) and "Numbers: 2" (Episode 30). Many refer to her as "he" (the same happens with Tinky Winky and Dipsy; even Noo-Noo), even though it is "she" (the same happens with Laa-Laa).
The Noo-noo (played by Mark Deans) is the Teletubbies' sentient automated vacuum cleaner-like Teletubby who cleans up after the Teletubbies ("Noo-Noo tidy up!"). It has been shown that the Noo-noo has extraordinarily large storage capacity and the ability to regurgitate any contents, often things that it should not have consumed in the first place such as the Teletubbies' beds' blankets or Dipsy's hat ("Naughty Noo-noo!"). The Noo-noo does not share the Teletubbies' enthusiasm for big hugs, resulting in Benny Hill style chase sequences around the dome when the Tubbies try to express their gratitude, during which the Noo-noo does a fine impression of a Formula 1 car engine in full flight. The Teletubbies always win, and give the Noo-noo a 'big-hug'.
Although non-sentient, the other machines of the Teltubbies' house known as the Tubbytronic Superdome also play a major role in many episodes. The Tubby Toaster is notoriously unreliable, and routinely either leaves a Tubby without their toast or buries them under a deluge of rounds. The dome's central console has a battery of knobs and levers with which a Tubby often chooses to amuse themselves ("Adjustments!"), although the outcome is normally limited to a variety of loud and surprising noises being generated. The central console is also home to the Tubby Sponges ("Wash, wash, wash. Wash, wash, wash. Tubby, Tubby, Tubby, Tubby. Wash wash wash"). Outside the Superdome, the Magic Windmill gives the signal to the Teletubbies that it is time to watch the Earth's children on either one of their T.V. screens, Magical Events or the Lion and the Bear or for Tubby Bye-Bye.
The show also features the Little Lambs, the Dog, the Butterfly, the Pink Spider, the Magic Crown, the Socks, the Vest, the Pants, the Blue Mittens and the Pink Boots and occasionally, the Trees, the Clouds and the Rabbits. (Although the "Birds" are planned to be in the TV series, but only heard off-screen.) The only physical cast members are John Schwab and Sandra Dickson, who play the Voice Trumpets, Penelope Keith, who plays the Bear with Brown, Fuzzy Hair, Eric Sykes, who plays the Scary Lion with Big, Scary Teeth and Jessica Smith who plays the Baby Sun, who is believed to have been around seven months old at the time of filming.[5] Her giggle was included in the single Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh!. Although not credited, this makes her technically the youngest person ever whose vocal appeared on a number one song.
Character mnemonics
The antenna shapes of each Teletubby provides mnemonic clues as to the character's names:
- Triangle: "Tinky Winky"
- Dipstick: "Dipsy"
- Loop: "Laa-Laa"
- "O" shape: "Po"
The Teletubbies' instruments
- Tinky Winky: saxophone, flute, bassoon, clarinet, piccolo, oboe, recorder, English horn, and contrabassoon
- Dipsy: trumpet, French horn, trombone, tuba, cornet, sousaphone, and euphonium
- Laa-Laa: xylophone, triangle, bass drum, snare drum, cymbals, timpani, castanets, maracas, tambourine, and glockenspiel
- Falwell wrote about it in his National Liberty Journal.[6]
A spokesman for Itsy Bitsy Entertainment Co., who licenses the characters in the United States, said that it was just a magic bag. It's a children's show, folks. To think we would be putting sexual innuendo in a children's show is kind of outlandish", he added. In an unrelated incident reported in 2000, a girl's Tinky Winky toy reportedly said "I got a gun". Kenn Viselman, then chairman of the Itsy Bitsy Entertainment Company, said the toy was actually saying "Again, again!", a catchphrase from the show.[7]

Though not credited for this 'performance,' she is the youngest person to have appeared on a no.1 single.

The Genevans, the official choir of Geneva College, will present its annual Christmas concert on December 4 and 5 in the First Presbyterian Church, Beaver Falls. The concerts, which are free and open to the public, begin at 8 p.m., preceded by a hand bell prelude at 7:30.
This year′s concert will showcase selections from Handel′s Messiah, as well as "Veiled in Darkness" by Pittsburgh composer Glenn Rudolph, "Like as the Hart" by Herbert Howells, and several familiar Christmas carols. Along with the Genevans, small ensembles including the Madrigal Singers and the Grace Notes will perform holiday tunes. There will be a free-will offering to raise money to support the Genevans ongoing ministries.
The program is under direction of Dr. Robert Copeland, who has led the choir almost 30 years. He will lead the group throughout Europe this upcoming year. "Our major reason to go is to minister to churches and communities with God′s gift of music," says Dr. Copeland of the trip. "All of Europe is in desperate need of the Gospel, and our concerts offer an opportunity for people to gather in a non-threatening environment and hear the truths of God′s word as well as His work in the world."
For more information, contact the Geneva College music department at 724-847-6660.

In this series of posts, we will be reblogging content from Rhizome's Archives, available here. This interview with John F. Simon, Jr., conducted by Jon Ippolito, comes from Rhizome's former publication, the Rhizome Digest. It was published on March 23, 2002. You can peruse old editions of the Rhizome Digest here.
Big thanks to Rhizome's curatorial fellow Natalie Saltiel for help with this post.
Date: 3.12.2002
From: Jon Ippolito
Subject: Code As Creative Writing--An Interview with John F. Simon, Jr
Keywords: software, programming, design
This interview took place in January 2002, on the occasion of the Guggenheim's acquisition of John Simon's Unfolding Object. More info at http://www.guggenheim.org/internetart.
Jon Ippolito: You've been working on or near the cutting edge of digital art since the mid-1980s, when you were programming image-processing routines for CCD [charge-coupled device] photography. Yet you often cite sources of inspiration from the world of pen and brush rather than the world of pixel and browser, and I see some of these influences of Modernism-for example, the influence of Paul Klee in your plotter drawings [1994-95] and Sol LeWitt in Combinations [1995]. What is it about those artists that speaks to you?
John F. Simon, Jr.: I am interested in analytical approaches to creativity. A new technology doesn't erase a life's work of thoughtful, creative production. The ideas are bigger than the medium. There are many examples in art history where artistic practice could be described as algorithmic-an approach to experimentation by rule making, including LeWitt and Conceptual artists in the 1970s also Paul Klee in the 1920's along with many other Bauhaus professors.
An even older example would be Dominican priest-scholar Sebastien Truchet's 1722 work on the use of combinations in tile design. His study uses square tiles of two colors that are divided diagonally. He assigned a letter to each of the four possible orientations of this kind of tile. He then made lists of letters describing the sequence and orientation for laying out the tiles. The lists functioned like instructions or programs for constructing the design. Craftsmen would pick a pattern out of his book and use the lists of letters as assembly instructions. Another even older example would be the analytical techniques used in the design of the Alhambra and in much Islamic art.

Woman is shot dead in Aden
Officials in the southern seaport city of Aden confirmed on Saturday the death of a pregnant woman who fell victim of stray bullets while partaking in a protest calling for the release of all political prisoners.
The woman was eight months pregnant.
Tensions between southern secessionist militants have escalated in recent weeks, often turning peaceful demonstrations into violent riots, with dangerous stand offs between protesters and the security forces.
The news od the mother to be death send shock waves through the neighborhood, with residents blaming the state for using live ammunition against its citizens.
Mohammed Hamed, a school teacher and Haraki militant - Southern Secessionist Movement - warned that the accident could turn into a catalyst for Aden and the southern region for more radical party members.
"Although it was an accident, many in Aden will translate her death as an act of terror against South Yemen and its people's calls for independence."
Separatists have often use Sana'a repressive stance in Aden as a rallying call for resistance, seeking to unite southerners in their rejection of the north rather than their political vision.
With Yemen National Dialogue Conference only weeks away - March 18th, 2013, one can only hope calm will return to the streets.

Okay this is kind of an elementary question that I feel like I should know the answer to. I'm trying to debug a database program and I think there's something I don't understand about if statements with multiple conditions separated by OR, and that's screwing up my code. The OR has screwed me up many times (usually because I use it in situations where AND is needed).
Not gonna go into detail with the code, so I'm just going to present some generic pseudo-code.
In the statement:
if( (condition1) || (condition2) ) --statements executed under true conditions else --statements executed under false conditions.
How is that if statement evaluated? Suppose condition1 is true and condition2 is false. Does it say "Okay, condition1 is true, let's check condition2. Okay, now I see condition2 is false. Let's jump to the body of the else statement."? Or does it automatically say "Okay, condition1 is true, let's jump to the body of the if statement."
Let's reverse the situation. Suppose condition1 is false and condition2 is true. Does it say "Okay, condition1 is false. Let's check condition2. Okay condition2 is true, so let's jump to the body of the if statement."? Or does it automatically jump straight to that else after it sees that condition1 is false?
Bottom line, is there a universe in which that overall statement resolves as true if just one of the conditions is true but any others are false? Is there an order of operations at play here?

United Methodist Bishop William Willimon, head of the North Alabama Conference, has called Alabama's new immigration law the "meanest" in the nation and an embarrassment to the state.
"The purpose feels like intimidation and meanness," Willimon said.
Willimon said some of his Methodist clergy in Alabama penned an open letter to Gov. Robert Bentley, who signed it into law last week, and to sponsors of the immigration bill, calling it an unjust law. "It was a statement of concern from the grassroots clergy," Willimon said. Willimon has distributed the letter with his endorsement. The Methodist bishop for south Alabama, Paul W. Leeland, has also issued a statement opposing the law.
Willimon has also urged United Methodists to attend an ecumenical prayer vigil on June 25 at 6:30 p.m. in Linn Park in Birmingham to voice opposition to the law and pray for those affected.
"There's a lot of frustration out there, disappointment, embarrassment," Willimon said. "We will come together and pray."
Willimon noted that many United Methodist churches have Hispanic outreach programs, Spanish-speaking worship and ministries to immigrants.
"One of the most nefarious aspects of this law is it appears to criminalize Alabamians in the act of being helpful and compassionate," he said.
The law includes a provision that makes it illegal to knowingly hire or give a ride to an illegal immigrant. A church volunteer who gives someone a ride to the doctor could be prosecuted, Willimon noted.
The claim by politicians that clamping down on immigration will create jobs "I find particularly repugnant," Willimon said.
Willimon said tornado relief efforts have been hampered. "Spanish-speaking people have been reluctant to receive aid because they are worried there will be problems," Willimon said. "It's very sad."
Willimon said he hopes there will be an increasing recognition that the law runs counter to the Christian spirit of compassion. "The Catholic bishops had already spoken out before we had," he said.
The United Methodists will take a lead in the conversation on how to respond to the law, he said. "One thing our church is hoping to show our Spanish-speaking friends is that this law is not in our spirit," Willimon said. "We want the world to know that this does not represent the best of Alabama."

PEORIA — U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock said he is not being investigated nor implicated regarding potentially illegal fund-raising. But some such activities that on the surface might raise questions are within the law.
"It's important for people to know they're not looking at anything I've been doing," Schock said Tuesday.
The Peoria Republican also said donors contributing to congressional candidates in other districts or states is common.
"Part of my reputation is somebody who goes out and raises a ton of money for the team," Schock said.
Reports Monday in New York newspapers linked Schock to alleged "donor swapping" that involved a Houston woman the FBI has arrested.
In donor swapping, a contributor who gave the maximum legal donation to Candidate A then donates to Candidate B, then the Candidate B donor contributes an identical sum to Candidate A.
Diana Durand was accused of reimbursing a Houston couple $4,800 for contributing to a House campaign in 2010. According to the New York Daily News, Tina and Ruben Sanchez donated that amount — the legal maximum — to Schock. They also had donated the maximum to U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y.
On the same day as the Sanchezes' donation to Schock, Darren and Rebecca Frye of Washington donated $4,800 to Grimm, the Daily News reported. The Fryes also had donated the maximum to Schock.
The federal complaint does not link either candidate nor their political committees to wrongdoing, according to a Chicago Tribune report.
"I have no idea who she is," Schock said Tuesday about Durand.
It is illegal for federal candidates to knowingly accept a contribution one person might make in another's name, according to Schock. That differs from contributions he and others receive from out-of-district donors.
Democratic and Republican congressional election groups sponsor such efforts, Schock said. He also has for former U.S. Rep. Bobby Schilling, R-Colona, and current U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon. They serve or have served in districts adjacent to Schock's.
"If you look up the individuals they're mentioning," Schock said about the reports, "those individuals maxed out to Bobby Schilling, and they maxed out to Adam Kinzinger. So all I would say is there are many of my donors who are extremely generous and give the federal max to a lot of congressional candidates, particularly people I suggest they help.
"And there's nothing wrong with that."

Frequent flights for island life
Fly to Sicily with British Airways and enjoy island life Italian style.
Greater flexibility on bookings
Book now, change laterFind out more
Fly to Sicily with British Airways and enjoy island life Italian style.
The Italian island of Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean. It's volcanic, enigmatic and fertile with myths and legends. As Goethe put it: "To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything."
Sicily is Italian, but it has a strong personal identity all of its own – from the big cities of Palermo and Catania fuming with people to the hidden hillside towns and the hot, remote interior. It has a gorgeous coastline and beautifully preserved ancient history. Rich Sicily changed hands between many ancient civilisations and it has seven inestimably important Greek temples, greedy for one island. Sicily still has a great appetite. When the local produce is this delicious, you can see why – shellfish, tuna and swordfish from the seas, pistachios, almonds, ricotta, and fragrant lemons from the land. Book flights to Sicily for a taste. You'll want second helpings.
Find a British Airways flight for less, we'll refund the difference.
Fly with British Airways and enjoy award-winning service, excellent value for money and no hidden charges:

DWTS – Making Age Cracks Is Not Nice and More Fun DWTS Media In The News
Hi All!!!! How are you? Just a few things to share. First, Derek has a big day. He's filming his role on "Better With You" today. Joanna Garcia (the female lead) tweeted a picture of the two practicing. Thanks to Heidi and Pure Derek Hough for this information. You can see some new HOT pics of him at the link. 🙂
Tony is golfing in the Bob Hope Classic today as well and has made it to the 3rd round. My Desert has a fun interview up with him. Check out how he use to babysit Derek when he was little. I liked what he said about "ringers". He is also asked about Season 12. Much more at the link.
On Dancing with the Stars, you're the professional who is working with amateurs. Out here, the tables are turned. Are you getting nervous? Can you sympathize with your dance partners?
I hope my dance partners show up with as much dedication as I have for golf.
I like the tables being turned.
The pressure is not on me. I just have a good time. This is a beautiful, beautiful place. I wish I could take this weather back with me to Connecticut. I think you guys in Palm Springs definitely have an edge.
Yeah, the winters here are much nicer.
Except for July and August. I think those two months, I wouldn't want to be here.
It's not just two months brother.
Oh, it's more than that?
It gets very hot. You said there's no pressure on you, but it's before the first tee.
It's before the first tee. But the thing is, for me, it's about having a good time. I'm out here in nature. I'm not one of the pros. There's no pressure for me to perform. I just have to hit the ball. But I'm an 8 handicap, so I should hit it pretty well.
You've had a great run, 10 seasons on Dancing with the Stars with partners like Kathy Ireland …
Yeah, Kathy Ireland, I had Jane Seymour, Susan Lucci, Leeza Gibbons.
It almost sounds like the cast for Cougartown.
I know right, but I also had Audrina Patridge and Stacy Keibler, Melissa Rycroft. I've been paired up with every range as far as age goes, and I've enjoyed every single one of them. Every season, I have a different story that develops with me. Where some of the other people have the same story. I've been lucky to meet so many wonderful people and they all remain friends.
What's up with this guy Derek always getting paired up with the ringer?
Derek (Hough) is a talented individual. I used to babysit him when he was a kid.
You babysit them?Well, by the pool when they were 8. Whatever you want to call it, but they are good kids and I wish nothing but the greatest thing for them. When they win, I feel like a part of me won.
But come on. you don't wish you got the ringer so you can win the title?
I don't ever wish that. I enjoyed every person I had. For me to wish I had the ringer means I didn't enjoy every person that I had. Honestly, the professional part, I won two world championships. I accomplished my goals. This is all gravy.
So any sneak peeks at the next season?Here's a little inside tip of what we go through. We don't know who we get until they walk into that ballroom.
So you don't know who your partner is until then?Yeah, so all the reactions are tamed down. If it's bad, we're not going to say anything. And if it's good, we're still not going to say anything because we don't know how good good is.
Louis was on Good Morning America today to discuss his new dance and fitness class "La Blast". I couldn't agree more about how "dancing" is the best workout. Not only that, it is FUN!!
For those Maks fans, there is a new Russian article on Maks and his filming of The Bachelor in the Ukraine at Media Nanny. Even taking it to a transaltion site, I'm having a hard time understanding it (HELP! lol). But, it appears the show is still in production and is currently being shot in the Canary Islands. Be sure to read the link for more and to see some really nice pictures of Maks and some of the beautiful locations where he's been staying. Thanks to Twitter friend Wonton12 for the heads up this news.
Ok, that is all for now. I leave you with this video I ran onto at the Colleen Zenk Facebook page of her dancing on "As The World Turns". She is good. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if she is picked to do the show this season. She's now up to 10,302 fans in support of her to do the show at Facebook and now they are shooting for "20,000".
People really shouldn't make "age" cracks like that, should they? I don't think so or they will regret it.

Helluva day, people. A lot of honest joke-making is going on out there, and that makes this Roundup-writing a worthwhile pursuit—that is, until Shitehawk no longer has the solvency to compensate us anymore. ANYway ...
Favorites and Duds from Today's Commenting
Favorites, in no particular order:
I have the most unfounded and yet deep hatred for A.J. Pierzynski. I have no idea why. Probably because he just looks like an Everytool sort of jackass. Anyway, where was I? Ah yes, BloodGames wrote a laugher of a dialogue in the Pierzynski Smear story that is wonderful exercise in "where is this going?" types of jokes. What I like about this one is that BG certainly knows his endpoint, and the sudden reveal in the last two lines amps the misapprehension of the scene up to full volume. This is your Comment of the Day.
All of this LeBron news seriously has people in a tizzy, don't it? Crammed among all of the Very Important Discussion, though, some quality jokesters gave some splendid efforts. Like for instance Same Sad Echo's tidy reworking of the LeBron Internet Clues post. Very neat.
I liked rubdirtinittakealap's gross-out photoshop in the Bruised Rangers Fan for all of its amateurish, square-peg-round-hole wonkiness.
I have no idea what happened to the rest of the comments in the Hairston-Gordon Car Trade, but at least DougExeter's simple idiocy survived the maelstrom.
Some burner named FilthFlarnFilth showed up with a taut wordplay in the BrooklyKnight (sp?) Obituary that made me smile and contentedly mutter "yes, indeed." Good stuff.
If you're not already feeling clinically depressed today, have a gander at ThePDFGhost's submission in the afternoons' 'Bron Non-Story. Criminy.
No duds tonight. Drop complaints, oversights, or personal favorites below, and let's finish the week in style tomorrow. Cheers, everyone.

Identity Forming Processes Overpainted (2012)
The German Brussels-based Jana Euler presents four new paintings developed over the last year in her eponymous, first American solo show at Real Fine Arts' storefront. These new works strike a more personal, and immersive chord than her previous solo at Dependance, "Form Follows Information Exchange." The Dependance solo presented ecosystems of a common self caught in postmodern standards of emotion, figuring in as vignettes — press conferences, mating animals, sculpted bodies with screen posteriors, and office workers discussing themselves into bobble heads. While Euler's latest solo orients from this critical form, it coalesces as the maze that is female post-adolescence, paraphrased in space with sophisticated timing.
Incised onto the surface of a female figure, cramped into a question mark, nine eyes form a path across "The Body of the Exhibition." The stream of eyes rounding up the body are reminiscent of a jelly-bean path left to reflect on what was, amalgamated with the apparition of vinyl department store footprints directing us to a next weigh station. The body's primitivist-esque contorted limbs are apportioned by two lines standing in for the exhibition's two half-transparent screens, which bisect the space into four quadrants. Orienting the four paintings to be viewed in an individual progression, the two half-transparent walls manifest as a literal screen memory, bringing into physical fruition the kind of layers that conjoin between the liminal internal time zones etched into our psychic and corporeal selves. Wandering between the three paintings with the press release/facsimile of "The Body of the Exhibition" in hand is to be absorbed into a psychodrama, directed by the skeins of social and biological expectation.
Social Expectations Overpainted (2012)

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Less than two weeks ago, the Baltimore Ravens frustrated fleet-footed quarterback Byron Leftwich and defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers to take control of the AFC North.
In the rematch Sunday, the Ravens will face a quarterback with a different skill set. Whether it will be soft-tossing Charlie Batch or the gritty and poised Ben Roethlisberger remains to be seen.
Batch went the distance last week in a loss to last-place Cleveland. The 37-year-old completed 20 of 34 passes for 199 yards but threw three interceptions, explaining in part why Pittsburgh didn't score in the second half and finished with a whopping eight turnovers.
Roethlisberger has been sidelined since hurting his ribs and right (throwing) shoulder in a Nov. 12 win over Kansas City. The two-time Super Bowl winner threw in practice this week but is questionable for Sunday.
The Ravens (9-2) have no idea whether Batch or Big Ben will be calling the signals at M&T Bank Stadium. So they're preparing for both.
A source with knowledge of Roethlisberger's injury told ESPN on Wednesday that there is less than a 50 percent chance that he will play Sunday.
The stability of his dislocated rib is the biggest issue. He plans to push himself the next couple of days to see what he's able to do, but the source said Roethlisberger still isn't sure whether he can throw effectively.
"We really don't care who lines up at quarterback," Baltimore safety Bernard Pollard said. "For us, it's a game that's going to be physical. They're going to try to win whoever's under center. If Ben plays, I know what kind of competitor he is. This guy is probably one of the strongest quarterbacks in the National Football League and one of the most competitive, him and Philip Rivers. But when it's all said and done, whoever lines up, lines up. We have our own situation to take care of. We really don't care."
Quarterback might not be the only spot where the Steelers could have a different face in a key spot. All-Pro center Maurkice Pouncey said Wednesday that he will play guard on Sunday if Willie Colon can't play because of a knee injury.
"Whatever is best for the team," Pouncey said, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
If Colon can't play, Pouncey will shift to his left guard spot and Doug Legursky will start at center.
The Ravens can clinch a playoff berth with a win over the desperate Steelers (6-5), who have lost two straight with Roethlisberger watching from the sideline. Leftwich broke his ribs in a 13-10 loss to Baltimore on Nov. 18, and last week Batch was part of an attack that lost the ball four times in the fourth quarter.
In the days leading up to the first meeting between the teams, the Ravens knew by Wednesday that Leftwich would start at quarterback. There is no such certainty this week, but the course of action remains identical.
"We'll do the same thing we did last time and the same thing we do every week: We'll prepare for their offense," coach John Harbaugh said. "Whatever quarterback ends up playing in this game, he's going to be very capable of running their offense very well. We've seen that before. We've seen that from experience."
Leftwich was rusty, yet he still managed to throw for 201 yards and score a touchdown. Batch lost last week, but he's 5-3 as a starter with Pittsburgh.
Roethlisberger is in a category of his own, with statistics and a winning percentage that can be measured up against any other quarterback in the league. But he's hurting, which could influence his effectiveness.
Still, an injured Roethlisberger is better than no Roethlisberger at all.
"If he's in there, he's in there. It definitely changes things if he plays," Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "But if he doesn't play, we still have to go out there and play the game. No game is won on paper. It's still the Pittsburgh Steelers. They're going to come in, they're going to be hungry and will be trying to get a win."
Whether it's Batch or Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh's quarterback will have more talent at his disposal than Leftwich did in the earlier meeting between these AFC North rivals. Wide receiver Antonio Brown returns after missing three games with a high-ankle sprain, and the Steelers added wideout Plaxico Burress last week.
"Obviously he's a heck of a player. A red zone threat," Harbaugh said of Burress. "He can run every route, he can make every catch. Just a great player."
The key for the Steelers is having someone who can effectively get Burress the ball. The Ravens don't know if it will be Batch or Roethlisberger, or maybe even Leftwich again.
"We need to watch film on Leftwich, Batch and Roethlisberger," Pollard said. "When it's all said and done, they still have the same concepts. We're going to be ready."
Information from ESPN reporter Bob Holtzman and The Associated Press was used in this report.

HOUSTON, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Houston's Arian Foster rambled for 140 yards with a score on 32 carries Saturday and the Texans bested Cincinnati 19-13 in a wild card-round playoff contest.
Foster's 1-yard scoring run in the third quarter put the Texans ahead 16-7 and Houston used a tough defense to limit Cincinnati to just 207 total yards of offense.
He also made eight catches for 34 yards, becoming the first player in NFL history to rush for 100 or more yards in his first three career playoff games.
Matt Schaub completed 29-of-38 passes for 261 yards with an interception and Shayne Graham went 4-for-4 on field goal attempts as the Texans ended the Bengals' season in the wild card round for the second straight season.
Owen Daniels compiled 91 receiving yards on nine catches for Houston, which goes on to play second-seeded New England next week.
Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was held to just 127 passing yards with an interception on 14-of-30 efficiency.
Cincinnati remained winless in the post-season since 1991.

Recently President Obama criticized the Egyptian government when they temporarily shut down the internet. Yet the administration has been lobbying for a new internet control bill, including a kill switch, which would allow the president to shut down the internet whenever he decides there is an "emergency," just like Mubarak did.
Senator Joe Lieberman has pushed this bill, citing the fact that China has something similar. Doesn't he know that the Chinese are far worse violators of human rights than the Egyptians? I'm sure he does.
It is well known that the elites in our country have always distrusted the internet, since they could not control the information coming from it, the way they could from a small number of outlets, like ABC, NBC, and CBS, even adding CNN and FOX in more recent years.
In fact, Jay Rockerfeller is on record saying we would be better off without the internet.
Although Lieberman, Rockerfeller, Obama, and the rest of the power structure in our country, might be more secure in their power without the internet, or with the internet completely under their control, we the people are more secure in our rights with the internet free from government control.
It is the 21st century version of the first amendment freedom of the press. We must have the right to know what our government is doing. We must let Congress know we are strongly opposed to an internet kill switch. Do not allow us to slide into tyranny.

NEWS- Protest U: Wage sit-in brings 18 arrests
For the participants of UVA's Living Wage Campaign, the past week has been a whirlwind of daily rallies, nightly vigils, 18 arrests, and a court hearing.
On the morning of Wednesday, April 12, 17 undergraduate students entered UVA's administration building, Madison Hall, and planned to remain until University President John T. Casteen III agreed to their demands for a $10.72 minimum hourly wage for all university employees or had them forcibly removed. Following a breakdown of negotiations between administrators and students on Saturday afternoon, April 15, Casteen chose the latter.
All 17 students were arrested for trespassing Saturday evening. Third-year Kevin Simowitz faces the additional charge of resisting arrest, and Andrew Mausert-Mooney is charged with vandalism for damaging furniture during the arrests.
Following their Easter weekend in jail and Monday morning bond hearing, the students were each released on bail of $500 and ordered to remain on good behavior and not to return to Madison Hall.
UVA administrators have taken steps of their own to ensure that further demonstrations do not happen in or around Madison Hall. Notices were posted on each of the several tents set up around the building ordering outside protestors to remove their belongings by 10am Tuesday morning.
"The placement of tents at Madison Hall is not authorized," wrote University Vice President Leonard Sandridge in the memorandum. "We are seeking to respect and accommodate your peaceful, non-disruptive protest which does not violate the rights of others or the policies of the University of Virginia and laws of this Commonwealth."
Despite the school's proceedings, students are determined to continue their campaign, as indicated by a sign posted outside Madison Hall Monday evening reading, "This will not go away."
But some wish it would. Karin Agness, who heads a group called the Network of Enlightened Women, held a counter-rally on the afternoon of day one arguing for "market wages." At least 60 students attended a speech given Friday afternoon by free-marketeer Edwin Burton.
But Living Wage proponents had big guns of their own, including NAACP chair Julian Bond and Nickel and Dimed author Barbara Ehrenreich, who spoke to nearly 300 students inside Newcomb Hall on Monday.
"Everyone feels like the campaign's getting so much stronger," says inside protestor and fourth-year student Lauren Cruickshank. "The more coverage we get and the more support we get, the more people know about it."
Students held a teach-in Monday night at the university to educate people about the living wage campaign and the events surrounding the sit-in.
"We plan to hold them at the school and in the surrounding community," says Cruickshank. "The act of spreading awareness is really important."
Even prior to the arrests, the campaign had garnered considerable attention, in part because of keynote speakers who appeared at each of the daily rallies, including Democratic City Council candidates Dave Norris and Julian Taliaferro, who both spoke Friday, and Saturday's speaker, Democratic Congressional candidate Al Weed.
"There are too many people in this community who struggle to make it on a day-to-day basis," said Taliaferro. "Living wage should be paid because it's the right thing to do, and I'm willing to take whatever actions are necessary to make it happen."
The inside protestors, who are scheduled to return to court May 5, have also gained the support of over 200 faculty members such as assistant professor Wende Marshall, who was arrested for trespassing the first day of the sit-in when she attempted to enter Madison Hall. She was issued a summons and appears in court Thursday, April 20, for the misdemeanor.
"I'm University faculty," says Marshall, "and Madison Hall is a University building."
According to school spokesperson Carol Wood, "That arrest was a police decision, not a school decision. It wasn't ordered by the administration."
The 17 student protestors were also warned about the possibility of arrest Wednesday by University Vice President Pat Lampkin.
"The administration informed us we were trespassing," says fourth-year Sam Kroiz. "They repeatedly told us Wednesday they were going to arrest us when the building closed."
The arrests finally did take place Saturday evening, shortly after negotiations reached a stalemate between protestors and administrators.
"The protestors started a chant while being led out," says second-year Abby Klinghoffer. "We were just shouting back that we love them, we support them, and not to worry, because we're not giving up on this."
An undercover police agent prevents Diane Villars, mother of protestor Jillian Villars, from bringing her daughter food on day three of the sit-in. "I'm just ashamed for this university," Villars said.
Outsiders were not allowed to take food to inside protestors. Much of the food that piled up outside Madison Hall was discarded by police Saturday night.
Democratic City Council candidates Julian Taliaferro and Dave Norris appeared at Friday's rally to lend their support to the protest.
Inside protestors were ordered by police to keep away from windows and doors.
Last week's daily rallies, which attracted more participants by the day, continue this week at other locations around grounds.
Several inside protestors were carried out by police, including third-year John Salidis.

Brandie says:
I love reading this series. It has all of the great literary attributes that I look for in a book/series. She has found a way to capture the audience's attention and keep it through out the series. I can honestly say that I have laughed and cried throughout the series. I have sat on the edge of my bed/seat in anticipation of what was going to happen next, held my breath with concern for the people she has created. Trish Marie Dawson did not creat characters, she created people. The people in the series are very easy to emphasize with. I have truly enjoyed the series and hope that another great book in this series will become available. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Riley and her family.

Pea and vegetarian mince Kofta curry
Sometimes, when my brother visits us, together with my family from Leicester, he makes unexplained (but definitely not mysterious) disappearances. Sometimes they are explicated. None of us feels illuminated. Let me explain;
When it comes to lunch or dinner, applying a menu favourably to the fussy audience that is my family is complicated. Each of them declares 'I'm easy, whatever…' but this is not factually correct. The children of course require a balanced, nutritious and mild diet and my parents like a more traditional menu these days or something with an x-rating on the chillies factor. But my dad is sick of chapatti every day so the mere indication of them will spin him off into, 'that's fine I will have Weetabix or toast for dinner'. What my diabetic dad really wants is something that resembles (or actually is) an obscenely dirty take-away; you know mounds of Chinese food, maybe some massaman curry or some deep fried aubergine Bhajhia.
But of course my husband likes the idea of all that but strokes his jumper down for the 97th time as he says, 'no I have got to be healthier, I have lost 2kg and need to…' right. By this time my sister-in-law, who has declined the chocolate cornflakes snack bites in the living room has made another trip to the kitchen corner and come out crunching, so the hunger is stirring. Oh, but where is my brother, how long has he actually been gone? He has of course, gone out in search of protein. It is I a fixation of his. Every meal must be loaded with protein that apparently fuels his work-outs and keeps him satiated for longer and various other reasons I switch off about and if its cabbage curry for dinner with vegetable rice and raitha, he is silently out and munching on chicken because we (which of course means 'I') have a no-meat rule in the house.
Cue my protein packed recipe. Every time we eat Quorn mince there are remarks from the non-vegetarian people around the table about how convincing it is. I have noticed over the years that it has actually become softer and juicier, less crumbly and they now lend so well to succulent, moist, lightly sweet, spice-soaked and juicy kofta. They hold so well and do not require any egg or potato. Peas are themselves a source of protein as well as the Quorn mince but I chose peas because they keep the kofta moist and add a little sweetness. They look pretty too don't they? Let me tell you, we had some very happy people and also very quiet people eating these kofta.

Herbert Named Hogs Strength and Conditioning Coach
Former Badger Makes His Way South
Ben Herbert has been selected as the Hogs head strength and conditioning coach.
Herbert joins the Razorbacks after spending the previous 11 seasons working in strength and conditioning at Wisconsin, including the last four as head strength and conditioning coach.
During his time with Wisconsin, Herbert helped develop 41 NFL draft picks, including six first-round selections. Defensive end J.J. Watt and offensive tackle Gabe Carminiwere both taken in the first round of the 2011 draft, and offensive guard Kevin Zeitler was picked 27th overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2012.
Herbert was a four-year letterman on the defensive line at Wisconsin, which won two Rose Bowls during his time as a student-athlete. He holds the Wisconsin bowl record for most tackle for loss and sacks yardage and is tied for the school's bowl record for sacks after collecting 2.0 sacks for 20 yards lost in the 2000 Rose Bowl victory over Stanford.
